Following up the lackluster 2006 release “The Information” should not be a difficult thing for loser iconoclast Beck, but “Modern Guilt” is yet another disappointing effort in a period of artistic decline that began with 2005’s “Guero”. It was in 2005 that Beck began to recycle ideas he had …

Josef K were a short-lived four-piece post-punk band. The paranoia and brittleness implicit in their namesake, the protagonist in Frank Kafka’s “The Trial” was echoed by their sound.
